Anthem’s endgame loot drops have been boosted, more changes are coming

One of the most common complaints about Anthem is that the endgame loot situation really sucks, which is a pretty big problem for a game that’s very explicitly a looter-shooter. The trouble is that it’s incredibly stingy with drops, a situation that was ironically highlighted by a bug that briefly but dramatically increased the drop rate of Masterwork and Legendary-tier items. BioWare fixed the bug, which is usually a good thing, but in this case it prompted players to stage a boycott demanding that it be brought back.

I don’t know if the boycott was successful and I’d guess that it’s unlikely BioWare will re-break the game, but it is going to open the loot taps a little more. In a game update posted today, it said that “some notable changes to the loot drop rate in specific scenarios” have been made, including:

Specific numbers and activities weren’t provided but Anthem global community lead Andrew Johnson said on Reddit that the changes will effect all activities, including strongholds, in Grandmaster 2 and 3, and “in all difficulties for the noted high level enemy types.”

“Don’t have exact percentages to share, but they are pretty significant, yes,” he wrote. “Please play and let us know what you see, but also realize experiences are still going vary person-to-person.”

The changes are fully server-side, meaning players won’t have to download anything, and are already in place. Johnson said in a separate Reddit post that more “significant changes” to Anthem loot will be made over the coming months, “but we’re starting with some incremental changes (like today’s) so we can better navigate that evolution.”
